Topic: Screenshot Captor use problems (Read 11352 times)

HiI posted my problem yesterday 2/11/09, but now I can't find my post. So, I am repeating my problem. I installed V2.44.01 and I am now getting frequently an error box saying 'Invalid floating point operation'. Sometimes this error message starts to berserk and repeat itself all over my PC screen, till I stop it using Task Manager. The icon in the system Tray shows red in the screen area.

I never had such problems with any of the earlier versions of Screenshot Captor.

HiI uninstalled it and reinstalled..but the problem persists. I moved the ini file out and did what you said. The only preferences i set are copy to clipboard, start minimized and show main form. The problem appeared(Invalid floating point operation). I repeated your instructions with the ini file again. This time I only set the one option...show main form. And the same problem appears. If I understand it right, this option opens up the application, instead of the default choice dialog box.I'm running WinXP Pro with Sp3.klk

I can certainly confirm the berserk 'Illegal floating point operation ' when capturing a selected region (Shift + PrtScr). It doesn't happen with every capture. I have only had it happen about 10 times in 500 captures.

I'll have to take more notice when it happens again, but I believe most times it occurred when I was selecting the region and changed my mind about where to start. Something I then did (what??? I don't know) caused the problem.

I have always used this Shift PrScr since that is my most favorite method....I like to screen capture only areas I like, not the whole screen. I have not tried other modes with this latest version, but have done with the previous versions where I have not encountered any such problems. Unlike Phil's situation of 10 instances in 500, mine occurs almost every other one or even consecutively.

After a bit of testing, I can repeatably produce the error by selecting ... Capture - Grab selected region and then DOUBLE clicking on the top left corner of the region I want. This possibly gives rise to an untrapped divide by zero condition when scaling.

This is consistent with my saying I thought it happened when I changed my mind... I probably clicked on the same spot a second time.

Everything appears to be working properly on a three monitor setup. This means that I no longer have to use the work-around of moving the ScreenCaptor window to the monitor on which I wanted to do the captures. Way better!

The bugfix worked for me in that I couldn't reproduce the error by double clicking as before. As I was only getting the error intermittently, I will keep checking as I do more captures over the next week or so.

I notice that double clicking now closes ScreenCaptor. I personally would like to see the ScreenCaptor window re-opened as the double click is obviously a mistake and you usually want to do another capture.

Open the ScreenCaptor windowCapture - Grab selected regionMove to the first corner of the capture and get the cross cursor

Now if you double click by mistake (which used to produce the illegal operation) instead of click and drag to select the region, I would like the ScreenCaptor window to reopen so that you could select your capture again instead of closing to the system tray.

It is really only a minor point and the way it is now only requires one more click to reopen it.
